70 Custom--It's HOME

[67mann]

Cab mounts showed up ---got 'm from right here in upstate NY--Mac's Auto.Had them shipped,but could have taken a ride(little over an 1hr)to get them.
Finished a couple more patches this week




Pulled the mounts out of the box and started welding

Made sure to get good burn threw

Pass. side needs more welding,but was getting late so it'll get finished this wkend


Next on list is too weld something up on the insides of the cab corners and some spot welding and then I can undercoat and get the cab back on its dollie

Looking good. I never realized how close you are to me here in Troy Pa. only about 2 hrs. Do you plan on painting your truck like your avatar?

[67mann]

Yep---Metalic Silver/(mid-shade)Blue splash back to the doors. About an 1hr to hit pa border(lawrenceville)----not alot of bumps in this area ---So ya can see what I'm willing to deal with to have one

I have the same problem, 73 to 79's are a dime a dozen. I am about a 1/2 hour from lawrenceville so your closer than I thought. The next time you go down rt 15 south on the new bypass around lawreceville when you get passed the lawrenceville exit keep looking to the right in the woods, you will see a 64 falcon convertable and a 64 Ranchero, looks like they been sitting there for years. The convertable looks to be starting to fold up(what a shame) but the ranchero look to be in decent condition. I'd love to buy the ranchero if it was for sale but I would never get to enjoy it because the wife would kill me.

[FLATBEDFORD]

No ice on the river yet down here. Otherwise nothing has changed much for me or the truck. No major progress. A few repairs. A little more rust.

Wow, awesome work so far! Nice to see the work you've done, I'll be venturing into this in the spring. What are you sandblasting the body with, soda or something else? Oh, and the tank your using, is that out of a camper special, or aftermarket? I'd like to do the same with my 67.

THX----just a plain old gravity feed stand up tank sandblaster with medium/course sand and yes the tank came out of my 67f250 CS along with all the mounting
stuff---everything bolt's right up if you go this route

[67nukeford]

That's the hard part, finding the CS out here. I have a year or so before I'll be ready to start painting, so just have to keep searching!
